QUOTE(Kennchew @ Oct 8 2019, 01:57 PM) I am a fresh graduate computer science student who recently has just completed my studies during august. I have applied almost 30 companies on websites such as linkedin, glassdoor and jobstreet. u what race? if u malay got doa kan read before interview.But so far almost more than 1 month only two of the companies did call me up for an interview but still got rejected in the end. The job i have applied are more towards IT support and administration such as linux and windows as I have some knowledge towards it. Company 1: I did manage to answer most of the technical questions given by them during the interview and told me that will arrange for 2nd interview with the executive director. After two weeks up to now still no news. Company 2: Call me up for phone interview yesterday, ask me some technical questions also told me will arrange for an interview today but suddenly got rejected this morning told me that there are a change of job requirements and they are not hiring anymore. Is it really normal for a fresh graduate to find it hard in securing for a job these days? As my expected starting salary is only RM2800 and its not even considered very high lol |

QUOTE(hirano @ Oct 8 2019, 11:47 PM) My thought when he said IT support/admin are those who help troubleshoot if any employees got trouble with their pc/laptop/video calls, raise access for new employees, setup work emails, answer technical-related enquiries, etc. Meaning you need to explore more. Your definition of IT support/admin is IT helpdesk/service desk that responsible in employees' laptops, work email, printer and etc. There are other type of IT support from infrastructure e.g. Linux/windows server, network, data center, cloud platform to application support like front-end application (Apache,ISS), middleware (weblogic, MQ, webMethods), backend system like SAP/JDE/databaseThis job only deserve 2.6k for freshies |

Not really normal as freshies usually quite easy to secure their first job provided the following:
1. Expected salary match with the market for that particular field (IT support basic usually lower but add up with allowance). 2. Academic results are good. 3. Your resume stand out and properly written/formatted. 4. Good spoken English and able to communicate f2f comfortably. Some scenario that can contribute to your situation, just my assumption. 1. You never did market research for the salary (IT Support). You're asking same salary as someone with 1 year experience + etc. 2. Your academic result is just average but asking higher expected salary than peers with roughly the same result. 3. Your resume is messed up, tons of unneeded info + confusing format. 4. Not able to present yourself properly during phone/face to face. A lot of errrr ehhh, avoid eye contact etc. I'm in IT field for years, do let me know if you need a second opinion on your resume. |

I have applied almost 30 companies on websites such as linkedin, glassdoor and jobstreet. Job market is hard now.. ayam mau cari upgrade as moneyger nobody want to pay /k rate of 20K... 1 year searching liao.. So stick with shitty pay and lots of epf and leave, and DIY busyness for income. Funny thing of my current org perks - throw leave like water go out make money from makcik/pakcik.But so far almost more than 1 month only two of the companies did call me up for an interview but still got rejected in the end.

As my expected starting salary is only RM2800 and its not even considered very high lol 2.8K is above market average, but if u damn good u can command up to 3.2K.. depends on demand, but market takes what it wants.. The sooner one understands supply and demand, pay, position etc all doesn't matter. If you can meet the demand, you get paid. Prablem is Marehsia needs Banggalas more than nerds (in its current economy state), and all that matters is make money and live off the poor, import all rich shiet. Deswai we never leave 3rd world for the past 30 years. Side effect of a long term disease - welcome to the 3rd world. If u can survive here, you'd make it anywhere else.. kot.

previously when i was a fresh grad, i drop my resume more than you, regardless career fair, online, post, u name it.
many many interview sessions but in the end, only one company accept me but only offer with 2k salary. 2k salary is very hard at that time. my home is very far at bangi(pama). and i need to work at sunway giza. i need to travel, toll and pay my commitment as well. no savings at the end of the month. not saying that you need to accept any lowball salary. but if you want to gain experience in IT and there is no other choice, then accept it. sometimes, you just accept it for time being and hold on for few years. then jump to other company. trust me. experience is everything. |

perhaps you should:
1. revised your expected salary (first job, dont be too demanding. after 1-2 years, bo raise. then jump ship if you want) 2. revised your CV. elaborate more on your capability/experience/involvement/projects etc willing to learn new task etc. 3. be open. if ure in IT and knows coding. dont limit ur self in 1 position/department. explore. times r tough nowdays. hard to find job. but once u strike one, dont be too demanding on the rate. its the environment that matters. btw, welcome to the working/salary men world.
